They Said I Wasn't Bold Enough
To be an individual that was
Interesting,
Memorable, and
Worth Anyone's Time.
That I was meek
That I was small
That I wasn't Brave enough
to make a Difference.
So I leapt in.
I jumped into the deep-end with only a slight knowledge
of how to barely keep my head above water.
With friends for support
With a partner just a phone-call away
But still with the distance of thousands of miles
To keep me feeling alone.
To keep me feeling alone.
I failed --
I failed a number of times.
But each taught me something new.
Be more assertive.
Be more of a leader.
Take action.
Rally.
Be strong.
Cry sometimes.
Admit defeat.
But learn.
Continue to always learn.
To feel the sting of the biting sidewalk
And remember to trip differently next time.
I may not be interesting.
I may not be memorable.
But I might be worth at least a few people's time.
And Bold isn't merely a font face anymore.
